The best thing about bad games is seeing everyone's reaction to them!
No, it was Wayne Forester. I think the voice direction was "we want you to sound like Gollum from the movies, but not"
Damn. I loved Superman 64. I was a wee lad, so didn't have all that much to say about game quality other than being happy my parents got me a new one.
Nothing wrong with that! It's all subjective so as long as you enjoyed it that's what counts. Even though I had a N64, I never even knew about this game until I started using the internet more in the early 2000s. I think the first time I actually saw the game in action was through AVGN:
Jedi is actually very good just plagued with unfinished optimization, rest of games you listed are bad all around.
Not as bad as the other 3 no.

Yikes.
"Not as bad" is a serious understatement. It's actually considered a really good game, just plagued by a dreadful pc version.
Redfall and Forspoken were more hyped and reckoned they could price themselves £20 above Gollum on day 1 though.
Even funnier, they are making another LOTR game.As if the memes weren't enough, Daedalic literally got the name of the franchise/game wrong in their apology letter
Is it a money laundering scheme?
Get rich quick?
Probably just based on positive responses to Gollum in Shadow of Mordor. He was a fun addition in that game.
Or curious. I paid 20quid for a key, having watched a playthrough of the game in its entirety. Some of the environments are nice, genuinely. But that's it; I bailed at the end of Chapter 3.
Yeah, I heard! Man, the franchise can't catch a break at the minute
Looks like Andrew Tate.
Yeah putting lore behind a paywall is a new low.Even if this was a bug free game that worked perfectly, it'd still be a bad game because what do you actually do? It'd just be one of those terrible ones that are so boring they're forgotten about, so the fact that everything on top of the boring premise was just as bad resulting in it becoming a huge meme could be seen as a positive because there's at least something funny about it.

On top of this being an incredibly expensive game to begin with, I've heard you need to pay extra for:
- The lore. You can't read lore from the game unless you pay.
- The Elves to speak Elvish.
- Gollum to say "my precious".
That's why the apology letter rings hollow to me. You know you've produced an atrocity, and apparently you're sorry for that, but you're going to put the most miniscule features you'd expect the game to come with behind a paywall? After already charging people £50 knowing full well it was going to stink? The balls on you.
Yeah the apology is bollocks. They think they can just churn out the usual "We'll work really hard to fix the game and make it what you expected" when the game is complete turd and there's not even a glimmer of hope for it. Just fecking dump it and make something new. It's done.That's why the apology letter rings hollow to me.

I was watching efap and they were showing highlights of people associated with the channel playing the game and one of my favourites was when As was playing, he got stuck and couldn't move so he reloaded the level and the game remembered him being stuck so he had to restart completely
Game play is the biggest problem they can't fix that.
Yep, which is why it would be really sad to watch those devs now do overtime to 'fix' it when they'd be better off dumping it and making something new.
Yeah. Move on and learn from this.
Must be soul destroying to work every day on something you know is complete shit but I guess that's how you work your way up.Surely as a developer when you make something like this you know it's terrible, right?
I don't know, Cyberpunk still has awful gameplay. But a few bug fixes and well placed "oh look over there!" announcements seemed to convince people it changed.
Of course they do, and they knew from the moment they looked at any design doc. But the people making it have no say.Surely as a developer when you make something like this you know it's terrible, right?
